My Messor are not eating i know they could be eating when i look away but all the food starts to mould so i take it out they dont touch the seeds the sweets the biscuit the sugar water honey honey water or the meal worms please help i knwo they will probaly eat when they are hungry enough but i want to be sure
also what do your messor eat
what temperature are you keeping them at?
26 degrees
so there not hibernating then there not hungry or there coming out when your asleep. try putting a fly in there if it disappear or moves you will know there checking out the food
i put some grass seeds but last time i put a fly in they ignored it but i will try and find one to put in
only a small one not much bigger than the workers so they can carry it easily. also is the mealworm cut up?
yes i cut the meal worm in half i have fed them three so far they have been untouched so i took them out when they started to mould
they have probably been nibbling at it they won't eat all of the mealworm
give them sunflower seeds(without the shells) that have been cut(or grinded) up into grass seed size(or smaller), thats what i do and it seems to work
Hi there Zack and Welcome to the forum, Just wondering but what size is your colony? If it is still small then chances are they still dont need to eat yet, and if they do they will only come out at night when your asleep. With the meal worm you wouldnt really notice if they ate it much anyway as they would eat just the insides.
As for the sweet things, barbarus dont do sweet ;)
Hope this helps :drink06:
